Please volunteer with us on November 2 and help ensure that Enchanted Hills Camp will serve campers for many generations to come. Two years ago, half of Enchanted Hills Camp for the Blind was lost in the devastating Wine Country Fires. Since then we've been able to rebuild thanks in large part to a large number of our community and volunteers who were able to donate their time to Enchanted Hills. Since the fires, we have had two full summer camp sessions and several Changing Vision, Changing Lives, attesting to the importance of this volunteer work. We are going to be working on projects like fire abatement, trail clearing, painting, general camp betterment projects, and more!

1:00 pm: Welcome to Windows 101:00 pm: Welcome to Windows 10 – Welcome to Windows 10! Come join the LightHouse access tech team as we explore features and functions of Windows 10, yes Windows 10. Do you have concerns, are you skeptical, do you wonder why you can’t stick with Windows 7 instead of learning a new operating system? The time has come to make the transition and we will help to allay your concerns and share our knowledge of the differences between Windows7 and Windows 10. We will point out some of the new features of Windows 10, explore both the similarities and differences between the two operating systems and explain why the transition has become necessary. You must be an enrolled LightHouse student to participate. To sign up for the class, contact Shen Kuan at 415-694-7312 or skuan@lighthouse-sf.org This class is free to participants through support from the City of San Francisco’s SF Connected program. |
